That is possible already:

add a launcher executing 'xfce-settings-show'

xfce-settings-show xfwm4                # xfwm4 settings
xfce-settings-show screensaver       # xscreensaver settings
xfce-settings-show ui                        # gtk settings
xfce-settings-show keyboard            # keyboard settings

etc...
